The research scholarships awarded by UTEC are intended to enhance the institution's research and development capabilities by fostering the training and recruitment of talented individuals. These scholarships aim to support the execution of research activities within the framework of graduate projects, research projects, and projects involving the provision or development of technological services.

The Postdoctoral Scholarships are aimed at people with completed Doctorate (PhD) studies (candidates can present themselves with a title in process). Adjunct teaching hours are financed through a fixed-term contract, for a maximum of 24 months and a minimum of 12 months.

People from any university, whether national or international, can benefit from it. It must be taken into account that some of the tutors must be professors at UTEC and the research activities must be carried out fundamentally at UTEC.

To access the alley, the interested person must:

• Hold a Ph.D. degree or have proof of a degree in process.
• Have a UTEC tutor and a letter of endorsement indicating your compliance in performing in such a role.
• Identify the research group that receives it and present a work plan to be developed at the same time.
• Submit a letter of motivation.
• At the time of taking office, it is not possible to accumulate more than 60 hours between the job contract and the other activities that the candidate has.

The call for Postdoctoral Fellowships opens annually, with nominations being made through Odoo for applicants belonging to UTEC and via the UTEC website for applicants from other institutions.
